What satellites did the report mention? I remember that the current Iranian rockets have a maximum LEO payload of a couple dozen kg, so maybe they are large cubesat sized?

The Nahid, Qaem and Fajr satellites.

The third one apparently is around 50 kg with a cold gas thruster (which the Iranians have yet to try), while the first one is built by college students so probably won't be that big. Maybe they will need a small solid kick motor (which might push the Safir LEO payload to somewhere around 200 kg) and try out multiple payload deployment structures, but I can see no technical issues that can prevent such a launch....

Quick translation: They will unveil the prototype of Qaem and the final version of Nahid. Fajr will be sent to orbit in the coming days or weeks. Sharifsat will we sent by the end of the Iranian year or at the beginning of next year.

Hamid Fazeli, president of the Iranian Space Agency, said that his country will launch three satellites into space Saturday, February 2, 2013. These include three satellites Fajr, Nahid and Qaem. Tehran also hopes to orbit the Sharifsat by March 20, 2013 and still Toloo satellite in the near future according to the statements of Mr. Fazeli. Last week, Tehran had sent a monkey into space ...

Hamid Fazeli said that Islamic Republic’s president will unveil this project.

He also provided comments on Nahid’s features and added that the Agency would launch Nahid by Safir- 1B rocket launcher to space.

Fazeli pointed to Nahid’s main feature as being imaging. “Nahid is the only satellite with folding solar panels,” he added. “All Iranian made satellites had panels fixed on themselves. Nahid’s panels provide folding capability,” he asserted.

He maintained that technology used in Nahid was unique, and that Nahid would have a perigee of 250Km, and an apogee of 370Km.

Fazeli also said that Iran has been working to develop more advanced and capable rocket launchers, adding that “Simorgh is the result of such attempts, and Qoqnoos (Phoenix) rocket launcher will be also developed in the future.”
